Merry Christmas 2010

Yes, I know my pictures are from the last to the first part of our christmas, but I am not really sure how to fix it, so you will just have to suffer through it.

This was the last day that GG and G-pa were here at our house. We went to the Bellagio that night, and then we wanted to take some pictures of the kids with their grandma and grandpa.

We went to San Diego right after Christmas. We used to live there so it was fun to go to our old stopping grounds. We got to go visit the house that I grew up in, and the school that I went to.

Here we are at La Jolla. It was cold and wet that day, but Madison enjoyed looking at the water. This was the first time Logan had seen the beach. We saw some sea otter while we were there.

The kids enjoying the hotel!

Madison had a great time at Sea World. This is her playing in this big mat area. We got mostly videos of her at Sea World. She enjoyed seeing the big animals and loved the shows. I think her favorite part was the huge playground area. We played there for about 3+ hours and she never got bored. There were rides to go, and a big jungle net thing above the ground that she loved.

Madison got to go on the carousel at Sea Port Village.

Logan on Christmas morning. He was just starting to get a cold then. I had a long Christmas Eve night with him. He was still happy though.

My brother Briant and his wife Melissa joined us for Christmas.

Christmas morning before the chaos. Rob and his dad Ron made Madison a rocking horse.

We had a very good Christmas. We also enjoyed talking to my brother Spencer who is on a mission in Salt Lake City. It was good to hear his voice, and he is doing really well.

December activities

The month of December was filled with lots of fun activities. Many nights we just drove around looking at all of the "pretties." ( This is what Madison calls the lights. I think she got that from me because I would say everything is pretty). We went to one house that was decked out in many different types of decorations. There was a train ride you could go on. Many different little houses to look in. The man that has the house plays the part of Santa very well. He has a full on white beard. Rob remembers going to this house when he was little.

I tried to get some pictures of cute little Logan all dressed up.

We went with our friends Tom and Jodi to an event that has everyone dressed like medevil times. Madison did not like this Santa at all. We went on a carriage ride, looked at a petting zoo, and Madison rode on a horse.

We went to Bass Pro Shop with some friends to get free pictures with Santa. Madison did okay with this Santa. I have those pictures but I don't know how to use my scanner. Sorry!

Madison turns 2

This is a picture of Madison with her cousin Abi. They both share a birthday in November. We had a big family birthday/Thanksgiving party.

Madison turned 2 on Thanksgiving day. We celebrated with some friends up in Cedar City. We stayed at a friend's cabin for the weekend. It was lots of fun. We had Thanksgiving dinner on Friday. We did a little bit of black friday shopping, and tried to go see the movie Tangled but it was all sold out. On Sunday there was big snow storm. Madison and her freind Piper got to play in the snow a little bit during the weekend.

For Madison's birthday we had homemade pizza for dinner. Then celebrated with cupcakes and ice cream. Madison got a new play tent, a new dress, finger puppets, and lots of dress up clothes. It was a good day.

Madison: Almost 2

I can't believe that Madison will be two on Thanksgiving Day. This time as really gone by fast. It is amazing to see how much she has grown and what she has accomplished.

She is a great sister most of the time. Lets just say that she learned how to say the word eyes and where they were located because she seems to be fasinated with Logan's eyes as she pokes at them daily. She hears a lot of " Don't touch his eyes!" She loves to give him his binky if he is crying and she collects toys for him so that he can play with them.

She defintely hit the "terrible twos" very early. We have been trying different ways to help with that.

She is talking so much better now. She loves to sing songs and dance. If we let her live outside she would be a happy camper. She is a great jumper and it is amazing to watch her at the park. Boy can this girl sure climb.

We love having Madison in our family.

She was Pebbles for Halloween

This is chocolate pudding!

I love her smile!!

Logan: The Slobbering Stud

I thought that this title was pretty appropriate because it fits him really well. Logan is always slobbering everywhere. I have started to put bibs on him because his shirts are too soaked and it is starting to get cold here. (sort of) He does it a lot more than Madison ever did. I don't know if he is teething or if that is just him. I thought he looked like a stud in these pictures as well.

Look are the string of slob on this picture!
